Al,

If the gears are clashing, there almost certainly will be evidence on 
both gears.  Maybe you might try painting some machinist's dye on 
both the ring gear where it is exposed through the starter hole and 
also on the starter gear, all teeth.  That will let you see if there 
is engagement or not, and also if the gear is spinning on the edge of 
the ring gear.  I have had bad bendix drives before. One of them 
sounded like a wounded animal when it was slipping.  Another did 
sound like the starter wasn't engaging, the starter spun up with a 
grinding noise, but it was really just the bendix slipping.
